Draft chapter 170: Subdivision Regulations

§ 170.36 Review; Approval Or Disapproval

The 2026 draft's § 170.36; the current text of its chapter is not in the archive, so it cannot be compared.

Comparison with a draft: not adopted. The archive holds no public hearing, ordinance or vote adopting the recodified Code through the October 20, 2026 meeting packet. Until one is adopted, every page here compares the consolidated code with a draft that can still change: the revised draft with the October 6 changes is not in the archive.

A comparison with the August 2026 draft recodification prepared by Iowa Codification for the City. The draft has not been adopted and can still change; the current code (unofficial compilation) governs until a recodified Code is adopted. Matches between sections are made by machine from the texts and are reviewed where uncertain.

1. Upon the filing of the final plat as set forth above, the Clerk shall submit 11 copies of the final plat and the application to the appropriate City departments for review as designated by the City Administrator.

2. Said designee(s) shall examine the application, the plat, the construction plans, and the legal documents to insure compliance with the requirements of the City Code, State law, and the preliminary plat.

3. The costs of the engineering examination of the final plat, construction plans, and any other engineering administration costs and fees incurred in conjunction with the final plat, shall be paid by the subdivider and shall be the actual costs of the engineering examination and review as incurred by the City.

4. Upon completion of said review staff shall recommend approval or disapproval of the plat within 45 calendar days of the date the City received a complete application, or the final plat shall be deemed to be approved by the staff. The owner or subdivider may, however, agree, in writing, to an extension of time.

5. Following staff evaluation, the owner or owner’s representative shall submit a digital version, a transparent reproducible copy and eight prints of the revised final plat with the signatures of the surveyor and the respective utility companies to the Clerk.

6. After receipt of the recommendation of the staff or after the time of any extension, the Council shall, by resolution, approve or disapprove the final plat. The Council must take action on the final plat within 60 calendar days of submission of a complete application for a final plat to the Clerk. If the Council does not approve or disapprove the plat within 60 calendar days, the final plat shall be deemed approved. The owner or subdivider may, however, agree, in writing, to an extension of time.
